Nobody knows what can happen, especially in exotic countries, where cases and natural disasters and coups, but simply to get sick or fall into the police station...
Summer - holiday time. Many of our compatriots tend to go holiday abroad, where they will warm sea, exotic nature, and a lot of impressions. But it does happen and trouble. Not uncommon for tourists as a result of theft, robbery or loss is commonplace, without money and without documents. What to do in these cases?
If you went abroad as part of a tourist group, the problems arising from the loss of documents that are solved easily, as they have you do not act alone, and with the active participation of representatives of travel companies, accompanying the group.
If you are traveling alone, and should not be discouraged. Virtually every country has a consulate of the CIS states. Therefore, before departing on a trip it is desirable to ask their addresses and phone numbers. If there is no consulate of their country, learn a consulate of the CIS states will be able, if necessary, to assist you. It's worth noting that in large countries, diplomatic missions may be several, but they are not only capital but also in some major cities and tourism centers.
If the host country, you had to show a passport and thus there is a fixation of the data in it (with hotel accommodation, purchase tickets, car rentals, etc.), check his address and phone numbers of those agencies and organizations, in a critical situation, this may useful.
The fact that store documents and money is useful separately; I think that most tourists knew. Good to have with them are stored separately an additional document with a photo ID (license, student card, social card, etc.), which is abroad, in principle, not needed, but with the loss of a passport at the consulate will help to quickly establish your identity.
If you have arrived in the country for a short period of time (several days), it is advisable to register at the consulate and to inform consular officials about the change of address or leaving the country. Nobody knows what can happen, especially in exotic countries, where cases and natural disasters and coups, but simply to get sick or fall into the police station. In this case, the registration at the consulate will be most welcome.
But consider the more prosaic situation. If trouble occurs, and you lost the passport, immediately call the consulate and ask for what to do next. Prompt you whether you want to contact the police or any government agencies. Naturally, in the case of robbery to the police it is desirable to apply immediately, but at the same call to the consulate can help you solve many problems, including language.
Going to the consulate for the loss of a passport, it is desirable to have with any identity documents. If documents are not suitable, it would be good to present witnesses (of course, have the documents) that can prove that you just are who they are.
Proving the consulate that you are a citizen of the state it represents, you get your hands on a temporary document - a certificate of return to their homeland. According to him, and you will release from the country, and will enable to enter the home. It is designed for just that, traveling, using it instead of a passport, you can not.
If you were without documents and without witnesses, and in this case, the consulate will help you, will be given a certificate of return, but the procedure is more complicated. Required addresses and telephone numbers of individuals or representatives of organizations that may be at home to confirm your identity. And on the border you will have to wait for more intimate communication with the border guards, which can be considerably simplified if a person who knows you with the necessary documents will meet you at the border.
Before the trip is to think and the situation where you may end up without money. Wait for special financial assistance from the consulate is not necessary. You can allocate a small sum for photography for a certificate to return to his homeland to help connect with friends or relatives and the prompt manner in which better and faster to transfer money. Naturally, people living in the consulate, and if you were in a critical situation, any money they have to find you, at least from my own funds. But particularly count on it not worth it.
